Soon they might finally have enough positions in all these alliances to fit all their split personalities.
This is a better summary than the talking heads

More than one quarter of US residents feel so estranged from their government that they feel it might “soon be necessary to take up arms” against it, a poll released on Thursday claimed.
This survey of 1,000 registered US voters, published by the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP), also revealed that most Americans agree the government is “corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me”.
...
While 56% of participants said they “generally trust elections to be conducted fairly and counted accurately”, Republicans, Democrats and independents were dramatically split on this point. Nearly 80% of Democrats voiced overall trust in elections, but that number dipped to 51% among independents and a mere 33% of Republicans.
...
Per the poll, 49% of Americans concurred that they “more and more feel like a stranger in my own country”. Again, this number reflected sharp political divisions: the sentiment was held by 69% of self-described “strong Republicans”, 65% of self-described “very conservative” persons, and 38% of “strong Democrats”.
Of the 28% of voters who felt it might soon be necessary “to take up arms against the government”, 37% had guns in their homes, according to the data.
One-third of Republicans – including 45% of “strong Republicans – hold this belief about taking up arms. 35% of independent voters, and 20% of Democrats, also agreed, the poll said.
I remember this being proposed here, bypassing the EU and negotiating with nations directly. I think that's a better approach too. Von der Leyen is an American asset.
IMO. The poll is isn’t that great. As you can see Republicans have a stronger urge than Democrats to take arms against the government. Now replace Biden with Trump and you will see the exact opposite of the poll above.
So is it true that the darker the bigger? Asking for a friend...
Thanks for posting this video, it's a great addition to my repertoire. I'm going to bash some mofos over the head with this.
I'm seeing quite a few posts around the forum regarding China buying Airbus aircraft but not Boeing aircraft recently, so I thought this article might be interesting to some people:
Pull Quote: "One mechanic said they observed sub-standard manufacturing and testing of the planes, which resulted in wires being left exposed and debris such as rubbish, metal slivers and washers lodging itself inside various parts of the plane, which could lead to electrical short circuits or fires."
Overall, not a great look for Boeing. Although quite a few incidents reported seem to be minor, new product launch issues and not really anything systemic. That said, production and manufacturing issues like that you don't expect to see from Boeing. Not like that... if you went back 40 years the issues they're having now would be unheard of for any large company in the US.

GWM makes Ora EV line and has many PHEV models amongst its Haval and Wey sub-brands.
Why bother deregulating useless FDA?
Look at the number of food product poisoning and recall plus poorly regulated drug from big pharma. How much more incompetent do they have to be. They are just like FAA regulating Boeing to self-regulate themselves.
